New toy - a Star Camera Co. 10x12!

[bliorg]

My new project ('cause I have time for it...) arrived today - a Star Camera Company 10x12" view camera. In very good shape, with three holders. The unique rise/fall is based on a tambour panel, which needs some attention. Rest of it is icing on the cake.

Have started work, rehabbing the finish and fixing the rise...

Haven't done much on the 10x12 recently, but a new strap made it here yesterday...

Found at Brettun's Village. Now I have to decide - leave it tan, or dye it black. Or darker brown...

Phew. Got the bellows out...

Almost all the work is done on this camera now. I need to ship off the bellows, sooner than later.

FWIW, there's an update on the bellows, and on the handle dyeing...

Picked up the bellows today, and now they're installed! Hope to get it out shooting early next week (out of developer... ).
